Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On July 3rd I was driving on the highway, and the Jeep went into limp mode. When it ran out of the electric charge, it didn’t switch over to the gas engine and became un-drivable. I brought it to a Jeep service center and they kept it until July 7th. They were not able to figure out why that happened, but obviously it is part of the recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11723041, filed 2026-03

“There is another recall 2nd one for this vehicle that now I cannot charge it . Park near other vehicles or in my garage due to fear of fire. Dealership says they are doing approx 1-2 a month and I am #59 on the list. I have not been offered a replacement vehicle. They told me I could not trade it in because it is “unsellable”.”

NHTSA complaint #11717420, filed 2026-02

“I just left my house and i was getting on the highway and the service 4 wheel drive light came on then all a sudden the car slowed down then it accelerated really fast so i pulled over and put it in park then when i tried to continue driving i put it in drive and it would not move. The engine ran but it would not move so i had to get it towed to the dealership”

“I was traveling in the right lane on I-75 at approximately 70 miles an hour, and my Wrangler completely lost all power and began to suddenly decelerate in traffic. I lost all acceleration ability, power brakes, and power steering. I immediately had to change lanes and exit the highway onto the shoulder while trying to avoid other vehicles all while struggling to steer and brake.”

NHTSA complaint #11733887, filed 2026-04

“The vehicle has been under recall since September 2024. They have been unable to repair it. I requested a refund or replacement since it has been nearly a year now without repair. The company offered me $9,000 and $9,000 to the lawyer I had contact them. This is not acceptable since they cannot repair the vehicle they need to refund my money or give me a new car.”
